John

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We had one room booked, but the first room we were given smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, so we refused it. The second room had an overpowering pet odor, so we had to refuse that one as well. The front desk upgraded us to a suite, which was thankfully acceptable. Unfortunately, housekeeping later left the door to our suite ajar after cleaning. We were lucky nothing was stolen. Staff were polite and tried to make things right, but the experience raised concerns about both cleanliness and security.

Unexpected charge at check-in. I had called ahead for early check-in and was told that that would be fine. They could let me in at 12 o’clock. I showed up at 12 o’clock And was asked for $35 for an early check-in. I asked to see the manager and said that he know what he told me about this when I asked for early check in. They finally let us in about 130.

It certainly was not. Non-smoking hotel. Smoke was wafting into our room under doors and through vents. Had to put a towel under door and sleep with windows open at 40 degrees. Maids did fine-just an old beat up hotel. Rust around tub paint.
